 Welcome message
A forward looking industry
It is the beginning of a new
decade. While 2020 may
once have seemed a good
way off, we already have less
than ten years to go. It is
just round the corner, and
today’s decisions will impact not just 2020, but
the decades to follow.
The first ten years of this century have in
some ways been a mixed bag. They have
seen gold turn to dust as the world economy
collapsed. They have seen natural disasters,
terrorist attacks, destruction and wars. They
have witnessed an energy and climate crisis.
Yet they have also been marked by increasing
global wealth and standards of living.
By the massive expansion of the internet
Welcome
and telecommunications. By amazing artistic
endeavours and overwhelming humanitarian
generosity to others in times of need.
They have also seen the world’s leaders slowly
begin to acknowledge the crunch issues of
energy and climate change. This awakening
has been accompanied by the take off of
the renewables industry and above all, of on-
and offshore wind energy, which is now at
194 GW worldwide – 84 GW - or 43% of the
total - of which is installed in Europe.
Growth in Europe has been assisted by the
recognition that wind energy is a clean, infinite
source of power and pushed forward by the
global reach of European wind power
manufacturers and developers. It has been
guided by the goals set up at EU level, most
recently the 2020 targets of the 2009 Renewable
Energy Directive. The analysis by the European
2 Event Guide
Wind Energy Association of the national action
plans linked to these targets shows that the EU
should meet and even slightly exceed the 20%
renewable energy goal.
But what will happen afterwards? Once the
2020 goal is met, where do we go from there?
What will EU climate and energy policy be on
1 January 2021? Will the EU have 2030
targets, and if so what sort of targets? What
about the EU’s commitment to reduce carbon
emissions by 80-95% by 2050? And the
renewable energy industry’s goal of a 100%
renewable electricity sector with 50% from wind
energy by the same year?
These are pressing questions because what
happens in 2020 impacts on investment
decisions today. Luckily, for the next few days at
EWEA 2011 we have the ideal forum, with a wide
and impressive range of industry and political
experts, to try and answer them.
For most of us here, it is clear that wind energy
is key to Europe’s energy and climate future both
up to and way past 2020. Now is the time to
discover how this can be ensured and what role
we all have to play.
Let me wish you a very stimulating and rewarding
EWEA 2011.

MESOSCALE MODELLING
Lead chair: Ignacio Marti, Centro Nacional de Energias
Renovables (CENER), Spain
Co-chair: Lueder Von Bremen, ForWind, Germany
Mesoscale models are beginning to be used in the wind
energy sector for wind resource assessment purposes. The
advantages of using these atmospheric models to study
the wind potential are clear: simulation of the wind field
(plus many other atmospheric parameters) with a spatial
resolution in kilometre-scale covering big domains of more
than 1000 km x 1000 km, the possibility to simulate any
region of the world without local measurements, etc. How-
ever, there is a need to understand the uncertainties of
such models, especially when dealing with wind energy.
During this session, mesoscale model users, wind re-
source assessment and prospective staff will provide an
overview of the state of the art and innovative applications
of mesoscale models in wind energy, together with informa-
tion about challenges, uncertainty and integration exam-
ples of the data generated by these atmospheric models.

Offshore wind energy is growing rapidly, mainly thanks
to the development of support structures fixed to the
bottom of shallow to medium-deep seas. The next step
to harvest the full potential of offshore wind is the use
of floating structures. Presently, multiple companies and
research institutes worldwide are working on concepts
and innovations to solve the practical challenges to make
this new technique feasible. This session will highlight the
latest developments of these concepts and innovations,
and will bring you up to date to the state of the art of
floating structures for offshore wind.

FORECASTING/PREDICTION
Lead chair: Jens Tambke, ForWind, Germany
Co-chair: Athanasios Kyriazis, 3E, Belgium
Wind power forecasting has reached a mature stage in the
last years. This session will showcase what can be called
the ‘third generation’ prediction models, which go further
than the deterministic forecast of power production over
the coming days. Concerning meteorology, the benefits of
ensemble forecasts in Europe will be demonstrated, show-
ing the potential of this source of probabilistic predictions
and the expected accuracy.
Because wind power will become the main source of elec-
tricity in an optimally interconnected Europe, the effects
of spatial forecast error smoothing on a European scale
will be quantified and visualised in this session. Moreover,
specific extreme events and large errors, e.g. during ramps
or icing, are of vital importance for the management of our
electricity systems. The last two presentations will deal
with the challenges related to forecasting those events.

When power systems reach high shares of wind power, the
capability of wind plants to actively contribute to power sys-
tem services becomes of crucial importance. In this ses-
sion major stakeholders (network operators, a wind turbine
manufacturer and a wind farm operator) present develop-
ments and experiences with state-of-the-art wind power
technologies and solutions like active power and voltage
control that not only provide a range of grid support ser-
vices, but also reduce the gap between wind and conven-
tional power plants. Specific grid support issues related to
offshore wind plants are presented as well.

Chairs:
Kim Branner, Risø DTU, Denmark

(CRES), Greece
The session will focus on new design approaches for
improving structural reliability of wind turbines and more
specifically, for rotor blades. The failure rate for wind turbine
blades corresponds to approximately 7% of the total failures.
Two presentations will concentrate on the necessity of taking
into account the different sources of variability in design
parameters. Structural reliability for rotor blades involves the
probabilistic modelling of all the uncertainties concerning the
design of a blade, as well as the use of fast and accurate
reliability methods. By adopting a reliability-based design
approach, the case and site-dependent uncertainties can
be used for verifying the design, estimating the probability
of failure and calibrating partial safety factors for use
in deterministic design. The other presentations will be
focussed on the experimental and numerical studies of a
bend-twist coupled wind turbine blade section, which was
performed by means of experimental modal analysis.

SUPPLY CHAIN: CHALLENGES AND
OPPORTUNITIES FOR A GROWING INDUSTRY
Lead chair: Colin Morgan, GL Garrad Hassan, United Kingdom
Europe has technical leadership in the supply chain for
wind energy driven by 20 years of solid growth in the
onshore wind market here and in export markets. As
onshore wind has hit a plateau in traditional European
markets, the spotlight is now on the offshore wind sector
and the substantial business opportunities that that will
bring in the next two decades.
Many of the opportunities in offshore wind are quite
different to those in onshore wind – it is indeed a new
sector. Turbines are on a much larger scale and the
services of marine installation, foundation fabrication,
subsea cabling, offshore substations and project support
services must also be considered; all of which demands
entirely new or radically expanded industries. The
session has been put together to start by looking at the

CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEMS
Lead chair: Gerard J.W. van Bussel, Technical University Delft,
DUWIND, The Netherlands
More and more wind turbines are being equipped with
extensive condition monitoring systems (CMS) on top
of standard SCADA systems. These systems allow to
remotely diagnose the condition of critical components,
and to infer and report malfunctions before failure and
of downtime and lost power output, On the other hand CMS
adds to the complexity of the system. So how good are
CMS in predicting failures and is SCADA information not
sufficient for diagnosing the condition of the wind turbine?
This session will assess the cost-effectiveness of CMS,
it will present operators experiences and it will introduce
novel methods to extract wind turbine condition properties
from existing (SCADA) information.

 Belgian Day Belgian Day

The host market showcases its potential Wind energy in Belgium

Tuesday 15 March 09:30 - 17:30 followed by a networking reception
The Belgian Day is organised by ODE (Organisatie
Duurzame Energie ) Vlaanderen and the Walloon
renewable energy association, EDORA. This one
day event will offer participants new insights
into the latest wind energy trends in the Belgian
market and the future of the grid system.
The Belgian Day conference offers unrivalled
networking opportunities with Belgium’s
leading industry players. In addition, both ODE
Vlaanderen and EDORA will be present at the
exhibition, at stand 12180, Hall 12.
EWEA 2011 conference delegates have free
access to this event, however pre-registration
is required. If you have not pre-registered but
would like to attend, please visit the ODE/
EDORA stand 12180 in Hall 12.
Please note this event will be conducted in
English. Interpretation will not be provided.
Belgium currently has more than 900 MW of
installed wind energy capacity. The Walloon region
leads with installed capacity of 442 MW onshore,
while Flanders has 264 MW onshore. In terms of
offshore wind energy, 195 MW are operational in
the North Sea. Belgium needs to source 13% of
its energy from renewables by 2020.
According to a recent study conducted by both
EDORA and ODE, renewables could feasibly
provide 16 to 18% of gross final energy
consumption in Belgium. The 2020 targets for
wind energy have been set at 1,500 MW
in Flanders, 2,000 MW in Wallonia and
2,825 MW in the Belgian North Sea Area,
collectively producing 16.7 TWh/y by 2020.
If these targets are met, wind energy would
provide more than 50% of Belgium’s electricity
from renewable sources, corresponding to about
15% of the projected electricity consumption in
Belgium by 2020. Don’t miss your chance to
learn more about Belgium’s leading wind industry
players at EWEA 2011.

Funding wind energy R&D in Europe
Monday, 14 March
16:00 – 17:30
Room 1122
The European Wind Initiative (EWI) is a long-term, large-scale programme for funding wind energy R&D in
Europe, and is rooted in the Commission’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). With a total budget
of €6bn for the 2010 – 2020 period, and with all relevant EU and national instruments contributing to its
funding, the EWI is one of the most important instruments for the support of wind energy.

DID YOU KNOW...

...that EWEA has taken a number of actions to try to minimise the environmental
impact of EWEA 2011?

EWEA has put a waste management process
in place for exhibitors to recycle as much as
possible during build up and break down. EWEA’s
waste diversion target for EWEA2011 is 30% of
total event waste.
100% of the carpet will be recycled after the
event.
Each official hotel was given a ‘green score’
based on a survey undertaken by EWEA,
which assessed their level of commitment to
responsible business practices. This enabled
participants to consider sustainability when
selecting their hotel.
Useful info
EWEA, together with the CVB (Brussels
Convention Bureau), secured free public
transport tickets to encourage the use of
public transport.
All banners will be recycled after the event.
EWEA chooses environmentally friendly
items, wherever possible, such as lanyards
made from bamboo, bags made from post-
consumer plastic bottles, pens made from wood
powder and corn starch, etc.
All EWEA printed materials are printed on
FSC certified paper (Forest Stewardship

The EWEA stand has been designed using
modular units to allow us to reuse it at future
events.
The shell scheme of all full service stands
will be reused and recycled at other events by
Melville (EWEA2011 stand constructor).
EWEA required the caterer to: ensure a
vegetarian option is available for all meals, serve
condiments in bulk to reduce packaging waste,
provide reusable equipment, select fair trade
products, use local food where possible, and
collaborate with local charities to donate any

EWEA has heavily reduced the number of bag
inserts to reduce the amount of paper used and
now offers electronic inserts instead.
EWEA supports the work of Renewable World

 A breath of fresh air for Europe.
Now and forever.

Europe possesses an energy source which could power it seven

times over: the wind. It reduces Europe’s dependence, and
spending, on imported fossil fuels. It lowers electricity prices and
emits no CO2. European companies are world leaders in wind
power, generating thousands of jobs.

Over the next 12 years, Europe must build new power capacity
equal to half the current total. We must use this opportunity to
construct a modern power system that meets the challenges of Breath
the 21st century. of FRESH AIR
Wind energy gives Europe a breath of fresh air. Now and forever. www.ewea.org/freshair
